World Analysis

The long-term chemical market studies include detailed plant capacities, comprehensive supply and demand data, a wealth of historical data, and a robust forecast period out ten years.

Global chemical markets, while increasingly integrated, often suffer from short-term volatility. As a result, stakeholders must make decisions in a rapidly-changing market environment with low forward visibility. The World Analysis service allows clients to place their questions and concerns about current and future market development within a longer-term context. Each World Analysis provides a detailed global and regional market outlook for a particular product or product group over a 16-year period (five-year history, base year, ten-year forecast). Clients depend on our expert analysis and forecasts supported by our extensive data collection to assist in their most important planning and investment decisions.

Subscriptions to a World Analysis include access to our online capacity and supply and demand databases, as well as online access to the study and the Excel file containing regional supply and demand graphs—all with easy search and download functionality. Our online capacity database offers capacity by producer, by shareholder and by site, as well as company ownership and subsidiaries capacity integration to accommodate our clients information needs. In addition, clients can purchase hardcopies for select World Analyses.
